I am quite inclined to say it will have an impact on performance. We are talking about only the downstream. If the up-pipe is unaltered, having additional exhaust tips would be detrimental for the airflow. If the header is not flowing enough gases for the entire system, in this case via larger muffler and many pipes, the gases will loose their velocity. If the gases get too slow the car loses torque, and if too many exhaust tips are mounted, you can even lose top end power as well.
Just my guess.
Still on exhaust system, which of the following exhaust configurations is better (efficient) for a 4-cylinder engine?
4-2-1 configuration, or 4-1 configuration?
Both have advantages, but the 4-1 header design creates better torque.
Kinda agree with ur expl above
Now, rather interesting one:...
According to some automotive analysts:
Which 5 auto brands will survive in the long runs (ie other words, the smaller ones will be under their flags)
1) Toyota, VW, GM, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler
or
2) Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler ?

Gotta be Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler. Don't think (1) VW is adequately sizeable to amass the entire German and European market; (2) Both Toyota and Honda have significant market shares.
Which classic film was promoted under the slogan: "Don't give away the ending - it's the only one we have?"
The Boston Strangler, or Psycho?
Unfortunately the answer is VW bro
Thou Honda has huge mkt share but it hasn't done much of acquisition or almost nothing compared to VW's aggressive buying frenzy in the last 10yrs.

Which flat screen sys lasts longer:
Plasma or LCD ?

Wrong. Caught you. This is a classic line from The Art of War by Sun Tzu. The full sentence is, "Know thy enemy and know thy self and you will win a hundred battles." One kopi on you. Squared.
Famous pick-up line: “Was that cannon fire, or is it my heart pounding?” from which movie?
The Postman Always Rings Twice, or Casablanca?

I do not agree with the analysts. Simplistically, giants like GM has to keep multiple product lines to maintain exposure to various consumers: Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Oldsmobile, Saturn and Hummer. You need no scale nor size to remain profitable and maintain growth prospects. Scope is more important than scale in the automobile industry.

LCD manufacturers claim that their displays last, on average, 50,000 to 75,000 hours. In point of fact, an LCD TV will last as long as its backlight does - and those bulbs can actually be replaced! Since this is nothing more than light passing through a prismatic substrate, there is essentially nothing to wear out in an LCD monitor.
Plasma, on the other hand, utilizes slight electric currents to excite a combination of noble gases (i.e., argon, neon, xenon), which then glow red, blue, and/or green. This is an essentially active phenomenon, so the phosphoric elements in plasma displays fade over time. The half-life of these gases is approximately 25,000 to 30,000 thousand hours. At this point, the phosphors will glow half as brightly as they did when the set was new. There is no way to replace these gases; the display simply continues to grow dimmer with use.
